Aldwych, London

Uncategorized 1 Minute
The Aldwych London Underground station was opened in 1907 and was called ‘Strand’. It sits on the street of that name and was the end of a short branch line (Piccadilly line) which ran From Holborn station. The station was served by a shuttle train and was open only during peak hours. This situation persisted between 1962 and 1994 when the station closed. This photograph (I would guess) was taken in the 1920s.
During World War 2, tunnels at the station were used to store works of art from London’s galleries and museums. In recent years, it has been used as a location for filming – for both TV and cinema.
